'Kay, somebody help the Mathtard.

Please to be informing a Dragons what the, how the, why the fuck. Slooooowly. Remembering I am an elderly ARTS graduate. Enunciate as clearly as you can via the typed word.

Aw, FRAK. People beat me to it. They type too fast. Yes, 55.

The second one? Still pondering.

ETA: snowphilosophy is clearly much smarter than me. *nods*

Dragons, you have my sympathy. This is not a good thing to inflict upon the fangurlz. Could they perhaps come up with something involving rock salt and cassette tapes?

I know! Give me some Math like this:

In 4.08, Dean is traveling at 2mph as he opens the door on X. He has consumed one fifth of whiskey, and Y is equidistant to N at the point of entry. Given that X = Giant Depressive Alcholic Porn-reading Teddy Bear, Y = Sam, and N = cutesy guest star, then how many milliseconds before Dean loses his shit on the hood of the Impala. Again. Please show working.

*licks end of pencil, rolls up sleeves*

Heh. I love Audrey and her miniature feistiness. "Uh...little girl?" "AUDREY." That child don't need no parents. She's got it under control.

Which makes me think, I need fic involving Audrey and The Prophet Chuck. And perhaps Castiel. *ponders*

HOMG. *points in horror to my comment*

I'm so fried I can't even spell my own dysfunctions correctly. ALCOHOLIC, Dragons.

This does not bode well.

*weeps, goes to bed*

Oh for god's sake, is that even legal? Isn't that harassment of the arts grad or something?

No way in a zillion years could I have logic'd that out.

I'm definitely going to show these to the hubster to see if he, who is one half logical/math brained and half freakin' terrific artist, can come up with these answers. I, otoh, now have a headache just reading the answers/reasoning your fine other brainiac flisters came up with!

From one arts grad to another... I so feel your pain!

*rubs temples* I really hope the math component isn't as complicated as these sample tests I've dug up. I really hope I'm overstudying here.

Let me know how the man goes with it. I'll be interested to see what kind of response you get.

may7fic July 10 2009, 16:43:57 UTC

I sure as hell hope the math component isn't this twisted for you either. Yikes!

I've been contemplating the vulnerability of my position here at work while we suffer through this ongoing merger (the contemplation coming from word that my co-worker and assistant of 18+ years may get let go as early as next week). Though I haven't lost any sleep over it yet, it's starting to become more and more evident that I'm vulnerable too and the idea of job hunting after all these years sure does NOT appeal. Then throw me these mathtitude tests and I might as well give up before I start. Ugh! Here's hoping they take pity on me for a while years longer!

Good luck to you, girl and I'll certainly let you know how hubby does on these puzzles as well ;).

Fuckballs. This is why I took Finnish. Everyone felt so sorry for me, they never made me do math again.

pdragon76 July 12 2009, 02:19:26 UTC

Yeah, this was a very similar feeling to that first lecture in Statistical Research Methodology waaaaaaay back in 1994.

Uh, EXCUSE ME, Professor Dude. I just failed all this stuff in high school. It was my understanding that if I selected courses from the Arts department, there would be no MATH.

[insert three years of weeping softly and headdesking]

Fortunately, this assessment was far shorter and involved no SPSS for Windows. *stabs statistical analysis software everywhere*

See how my breakfast has now become lunch? *points to time* I adore my pals. They're almost as disorganized as ME.

Dragons ! What kind of whacked-out, brain-frying , goof-ball job are youz tryna get anyways? That shit is just mean and weird and way to fraking HARD. I gots a head-ache now. Ima go eat codeine and ask god to get you a job were all you gots to do is look pretty and cash your big fat paycheck!

Re: ?!~ pdragon76 July 12 2009, 02:24:00 UTC

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a job at NASA, but YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.

It's a government position. I think they put everyone through this asshattery. Particular the roles that require a high degree of unbatshit on a daily basis. Or the right kind and quantity of batshit.

I think I did pretty well on the academic stuff. The psych profiling you can't really do much about. You're either it or you're not. *shrugs, hopes for the best* We'll see.

If you find thast job where I can look pretty and get paid large, please PM me that shit. Srsly. *smish*

gottalovev July 10 2009, 17:40:03 UTC

I'm usually good with that stuff, but those really stumped me. I had the first but never could figure the second. *pouts*

math should only be used in proper situations

*points to icon*

pdragon76 July 12 2009, 02:28:56 UTC

LOL. Agreed. Now, if they'd worked Ackles' ass into the question...I have NO problem whatsoever devoting some serious attention to proving that equation.

I'm actually glad to see people were not immediately: Oh, Dragons you dunce. *answers*

I'm relieved y'all gave me multiple horse-eye. I don't feel so tardy now. :D
